Taking inspiration from Japanese titles such as Metal Gear Solid, Godhand and No More Heroes, Furi is all about the “tension of one-on-one fights against deadly adversaries”, and features a mix of dual-stick shooting and sword fighting combat elements that’s easy to learn and difficult to master. The Switch version also comes with all previously released content and updates, including the One More Fight DLC that adds a new boss encounter. 

Here’s some more details about the game’s key features:

• A simple set of controls that you need to master to perfection: you can slash with your sword, shoot with your gun, dodge and parry. You can also charge the slash attack, the gun shot and the dodge. Once you’ve got that, you can play!
• There’s no limit to how much you can improve, it’s simple and deep. The challenges are based on a simple formula: get warned – react – punish. The depth comes from the differences between the guardians. It’s about how you play a few moves differently to beat a different opponent.
• Furi is a challenging game that requires skills and reflexes. No button mashing or combo learning. You need to wait for your adversary to show an opening to fight back.
• Default difficulty is Furi mode. Beat the game in Furi, and you’ll unlock Furier (hardcore). Beat it in Furier, you’ll unlock a Speedrun mode (compete against time or hits - with leaderboards).
  

 
Furi is out 11 January on the Nintendo eShop and will cost €19.99 /$19.99 /£17.99.
